Proposta de um modelo de integração e interoperabilidade entre sistemas de controlo migratório do SENAMI: posto de travessia de Ressano Garcia

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have today played a leading role in our society and their influence goes far beyond the limits to which they could initially be confined with a very considerable impact on people's lives and well-being (Castells, 2004). Systems integration is the union or interconnection of two systems or components with the aim of offering a certain service or functionality. Interoperability characterizes the extent in which two implementation of systems, or components from different manufacturers can coexist and work together simply by relying on each other's services as specified by a common standard (Tanenbaum & Steen, 2006). The National Migration Service has the general competences of controlling the migratory movement across national borders and inspecting the permanence of foreign citizens in the national territory. Currently, at each border post there is a server of the local system, synchronized with another central server of SENAMI. This server has been unavailable, interrupting the migratory movement log, which can lead to system malfunction, causing further delay fines. This work aims to study and propose a solution to solve the issue of unavailability of the local server, avoiding the interruption of Migration Movement registration and consequently minimizing the consequences of this problem.
